Ge 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: If God created ONLY Adam and Eve as the Bible says, then EVERYBODY was related to them as a child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc... I don't think Abel was married as he was killed before he chose a wife. Cain, however, HAD to marry either a female child of Adam and Eve (thus, his sister) or a grandchild of Adam & Eve (thus a niece)... but could have been a few generations down the line and several times removed. At that point, with lifespans so long, it's likely that those people didn't even KNOW Adam and Eve. The land of nod is not a literal place. "nod" means Wandering I do think if there were other people around that God created it would still only means that Eden represents the first place that God created man, whom then became the direct decedent of Jesus Christ.
